Throughout his career at Johnson Controls, Alex A. Molinaroli saw his stock holdings rise and fall dramatically. Notably, in September 2019, his holdings peaked at approximately $65 million. By early 2021, this value surged to around $109 million. This sharp increase reflects the market's reaction to his leadership during significant company changes, particularly the merger with Tyco. However, the value of his holdings has fluctuated since then, showing a range from $70 million to over $100 million through 2023. This volatility indicates both the market's confidence in Johnson Controls and the risks inherent in holding large amounts of stock. Each significant increase in his holdings shows the benefits of long-term investment and the challenges of timing the market effectively.
